It's Blooming Ranunculus!

Hello! We are so excited to have these beauties in our shoppe right now! They only bloom once a year and they are beautifully paired with our crochet beanies and our headbands!

You Are MY Happy!

On Sunday I was back at Rancho Santa Fe, with my favorite girls, Allison, Erin, Ashley, and Raquel. It was so nice to catch up with the girls and see my favorite customers. 

As hard as it is to get up early on a Sunday morning, it is all worthwhile when I realize that I get to go to work with my friends and I wake up every morning LOVING what I do!

I love working with felt and when my felt shipment came in I couldn't stop smiling:-) I poured myself some hot tea and went to work in the studio. Look what I made! I was so happy with myself, that I took them to Little Italy Farmer's Market the very next day and most of them went home with pretty little girls.

La Jolla Farmer's Market Every Sunday

This past Sunday, my little Shoppe was invited to be a guest at Le Jolla Farmer's Market, I was so excited when I got the call from the Market manager, I jumped for joy. This was my third time being invited to participate. Basically how it works is if there is an opening, for example if a vendor calls in sick or takes vacation, a spot opens up and that is an opportunity for vendors like myself ,who do not have a permanent spot at that market, to participate and showcase our "goods" to the loyal market community of such town.  Below are some pictures of the show! It goes from 9am to 1pm, but vendors are expected to be there at 7:45am! Thank you so much for reading my little blog and for supporting handmade!

Busy Changing the World

So Busy Changing the World...

There is a certain type of love in the universe that makes you feel like you can change the world. Being a realist romantic, and listening to Jack Johnson on repeat all day, I am experiencing this type of love right now, in this very moment. When I woke up and realized that such love is real and tangible, I feel like I can change the world. I am in the 11th month of my life reinvented and I have never felt so loved... and so alive. 
This said "love" that I speak of is not the romantic, I can't live without you love, but rather the we are free to go out into the world and create the world inside your head. Go out there and make all your dreams come true, kind of love. 

Be Open To Whatever Comes Next...

I remember reading this quote last year and thinking to myself, "Yes, I am ready. I'm always ready for whatever comes next." But it wasn't until I turned 30 that I realized that this now has another meaning to me. I now see it with different eyes.  When I opened my heart to the unknown I suddenly became happier and more inspired. Not only in my work, but in my personal life as well. I feel that I am now taking more risks in my work. My designs are going through a metamorphosis. I am excited to share them with my readers very soon.

Look into your heart...and you'll find Gratitude

Christmas is fast approaching and I am beginning to feel the holiday cheer.  Six months ago, my friend and I where given an amazing opportunity to open a cart at UTC in La Jolla.  After careful consideration we agreed to the terms and opened up shoppe.
Here we are towards the end of our journey and I am filled with so much joy and gratitude. All thought I can't wait to work from my home studio again and have dinner with my family every night, there are some much that I will miss from my time here:

1. All my new friends that I made at The Walking Company, Gap, Love Tatum and management.
2. People walking in just to touch and reminisce about the time when their children where babies.
3. My friends from Starbucks and the Apple store
4. Getting all the fun deals at the Gap
5. Having my brother visit me for lunch
6. Having the opportunity to join the Little Italy family
7. Seeing babies walking around the mall wearing my little creations and hearing their moms say how many compliments they got for them.
